Pathwright
What it is
Pathwright is a web-based, cloud-hosted platform for creating and delivering structured learning experiences. Path makers can outline step-by-step paths, assemble interactive steps with content blocks, invite learner cohorts, schedule cohorts, run live sessions, provide community spaces, manage assignments, and track progress. It is used for classes, onboarding, micro-learning, online courses, events, cohort-based courses, competency-based learning, and learning communities. Courses may be offered publicly or privately, with subscriptions handled through an integrated Stripe account. Listed integrations include Stripe, Zapier, Intercom, single sign-on, and a GraphQL API; Essentials and Complete plans include Zapier connections to more than 2,000 apps. Users can create accounts and build courses for free, while paid plans start at $89/mo when billed annually and include a 30-day trial. Plans support up to 1,000 members, with different staff and cohort limits. Pathwright says data is encrypted in transit, not at rest, and the service is working toward full ADA/WCAG compliance.
